  1. Ran across one today where I had to navigate through adds above, to the right, and in the middle of her pages long dissertation about how these burgers changed her grandmothers life or some shit only to get to the recipe section AND THE BITCH REQUIRED ME TO REGISTER TO HER NEWSLETTER TO SEE IT. Fucking bullshit
  2. UTG old man opens to 12k. I call w JJ. BB calls w deep stack. 40k pot 366 rainbow. Checks to me and I go 30k. BB min raises to 60k. I tank call and he has 62hh. Oops, game over. Out 71st
  3. BTN (150k) opens to 10k. I jam ATo in BB and he snaps with K3s? Flop A and turn another, full double up
  4. Drawing big blind is an auspicious start
  5. 729 entries. 75 returning, all in the money. Avg stack 243k. Chip leader 614k. 2/4/4k blinds to start the day I’m 68th with 93k, so just need 1-2 hands early to get comfortably in the mix $52k up top … LFG
  6. Bagged a 20 BB stack in the 2nd flight (of 6) in our $400 $100k guaranteed tourney. Return Sunday in the money
  7. So there is a game now that is ONLY bomb pots!?! Super degen We only got bomb pots on our non-time games in the last year and it’s blown up with 2-3 players per table pushing hard on the others to play them. I scooped one the other night with 9865 rainbow that hit nut straights on the river both boards, somehow dodging 3 flush and 2 boat draws against 4 other all-in players. That $500-600 pot may have got me 1/3rd out of being bomb pot stuck
  8. Chip stack pics or it didn’t happen
  9. It’s starting to be tested here in FL. I’d guess there is A LOT of behind the scenes pressure to figure out a graceful exit from some of the policies enacted the last year
  10. I’m not sure it mattered, but I was several margaritas in, had A943 when the flop came AAA, and my holdem training had me jam while telling everyone to GTFO. I *should* have checked it through the river to let someone hang themself, as in PLO only the flop matters. In holdem, I could have been screwed by a higher kicker hitting the turn or river
  11. Relatedly, Kirkland balls are $27 for two dozen at my Costco. Stocked up
  12. At this point the angry Trump voters can’t vote any harder. We’ve already been told that he’s been boosted by inflation, the border surge, the Fox verdict, the FBI raid, the first indictment, the second, the third, the fourth, the Carol verdict, the Rudy verdict… but now suddenly we think THIS is going to move the needle more? Fuck that noise
  13. On my 49th birthday, I just hit AAAA9 for $1900
  14. Best/fastest dealer in room says he gets most hands per hour at limit holdem. Since those players are pretty much only playing because of the high hand promotion, they go very fast even though they get to river nearly every hand
  15. Has anyone come across discussions about odds for winning high hand promotions? I’m trying to determine what the order of likelihood is for a given table to win: Limit Holdem: almost every hand gets to the river, which is good because you’ll see all 5 cards, but bad because every hand takes longer to play so you see fewer per hour No Limit: fewer hands get past flop, much less to the river. More hands per hour than limit, though PLO: must flop a winner, so only 3 community cards to work with rather than five, BUT you effectively have 6 shots per hand dealt because of the 6 combos in your hand. Probably same number of hands as limit holdem
  16. It’s all relative. As long as competition is playing the same ball I don’t really care. Adjust the tee box and we’re all good imo
  17. Georgia will absolutely truck them and this controversy will quickly disappear
